Resilient Leadership in Complex Times

Professor Susan Vroman

What is different about leading in times of complexity or even crisis? Uncertainty is high, consequences of decisions are high, and all eyes are on you. Leaders who will be trusted will first ground themselves, then establish synchrony with their followers and a positive emotional tone. They need to understand and validate the wants and needs of those around them while drawing on their own sources for resilience. This interactive session will explore considerations and opportunities for leaders to apply the Resonant Leadership Model in their work with teams and coworkers. Participants will have the opportunity to self evaluate how they are connecting with their stakeholders, and themselves, to best position themselves to lead in this unprecedented time and in complex situations going forward.
